Pumpkin Seed Cream

Galapagos inspired meal! This was a meal that we had at Muyu Galapagos, the restaurant that was in the hotel we stayed at (in Isle St Cristobal). The restaurant was extremely accommodating to our vegan diet. ‘Muyu’ means ‘seed’ in Quechua language and the restaurant has their own organic farm on site where they get all of their fruit, vegetables, and herbs. Muyu is a Farm, Forest, & Sea to Table Restaurant and I loved it so much!

This dish reminds me of a risotto, just healthier. The pumpkin seed cream is similar to a cashew cream, and at the restaurant the vegetables were grilled (so good), but we have to wait until Spring to start grilling here! *Instead I roasted the eggplant + red onion, + snap peas and then sautéed the pepper and tomato*
